Hey there Fanfictioners, I was so excited to upload my first story ever that I totally forgot all of this stuff, so here it is now...
I (sadly) don't own Fullmetal Alchemist
I DO own my OC Alice, she's my precious! (insert cool Smeagol sound here)
Review my pretties, review!
Memories flooded my mind, of Nina smiling up at me, her two dark-brown braids trailing down her back. Nina laughing, bright and loving and happy. Then her with her father, Shou Tucker. I squeezed my eyes shut to stop the impending tears from coming. My rage was growing so high at the mere sight of that murder. That man who used his own wife to make a chameria so that he could become rich, then used his own daughter and dog, Alexander, to make a second. He used my precious Nina to create a monster. A monster that was killed by an Ishvalan named Scar.
I felt my attempts at keeping the tears at bay fail. I guess that I started to sniffle a little, because Ed wrapped his arms around me and just held me there, comforting me. I leaned into his warmth and let the tears that I had held back for over 4 years finally slip out and travel down my eyes like twin rivers.
"Shh... It's okay. Hush little one." Ed starting crooning to me once my cries became sobs that shook my entire body. I let him push my shoulders down so that my head was resting in the crook of his real arm, my face turned against broad chest. I kept seeing flashes of that night when we had stumbled upon Tucker and his.. "creation". The way that Nina/Alexander had looked at me. That look of pain and torture and confusion, she was just a little girl, she didn't know that was going on?!
My memories suddenly changed to the night that my brothers and I attempted to bring back our mother after she died from the epidemic that swept our land. The thing that was left in the place of what should have been our loving mother. It was horrible, Al was saved from seeing the horrendous sight. I envy him for that.
I gasped as I was torn from my memories as Ed shook my shoulder, "Alice, we should get going soon, Al will come looking for us soon and you know how he hates it when we sneak out without him." When I grumbled against his please, she lifted my head off his lap and let it fall to the ground with a 'thump'.
"OW! Okay I'm up, I'm up!" I began to get to my feet when I saw him, a man with dark skin, most likely an Ishvalan. His shirt was torn to shreds, showing off the tattoos that marked the entirety of his right arm. Ed swung up his arm in front of me, shielding me from this man I knew to be a murderer. Ed's eyes were a mirror image of mine, smoldering and wishing the man standing in front of us was dead.
"All State Alchemists must perish!" The man barreled toward us, his right arm flowing with red energy.
"Ed, down!" I yelled as I clapped my hands together and used the alchemy I was so used to. I created a wooden spear from the earth and launched it at our attacker in the blink of an eye. He easily side-stepped the blow and jumped up into the air, right arm at the ready to kill. Ed pulled me out of the way at the last second and saved my life. I grabbed his arm and used the momentum to swing us both into a back roll, then jump back up to our feet. The man was on us in a second, even in his condition he was able to grab my head and whip me against a rock, causing me to go unconscious. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Ed's face over mine, blood streaming down his head, then the man grabbed him too and through him back. Then the darkness became too powerful and I was forced into a deep sleep.
If it wasn't obvious I have been having such a bad case of writer's block, this chapter ended very suddenly, sorry about that, I really knew that I HAD to update soon. Next chapter is coming in the next week or so! :)
